The point is, on LU it isn't a problem, because on LU there's no
reason to have a paper season ticket and paper season tickets aren't
sold.


Do LU sell one day travelcards on Oyster now then? *Travelcards are
season tickets, the one day version just happen to be for a very short
season.


No they aren't, which is why the combination-of-ticket rules are
different (ie with a ODTC, you need to have a BZ ticket or for the
train to stop at the station where validity changes).

In any case, paper ODTCs become irrelevant at the same time as the
abolition of CDRs (actually, that's an interesting one - are LU going
to continue selling paper ODTCs now that there is absolutely no
advantage in having one compared to a capped Oyster PAYG?)
